Family Mottos/ Favorite Quotes:

An old man once said - There comes a time in life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.

"No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. ... All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable. ... It is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire." -Orson F. Whitney

"It is the office of a true teacher to show us that God is, not was, that He speaketh, not spake... The need was never greater of new revelation than now." -Ralph Waldo Emerson (15 July 1838)

"God grant me SERENITY to accept the things i can change, COURAGE to change the things i can and WISDOM to know the difference." -unknown

"Come what may, and love it." - Joseph B. Wirthlin

"Bloom Where You're Planted"

Proverbs 3:4-5

"Life is not about how hard you can hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward." -Rocky Balboa

"Government officials are elected to office to represent me, not represent the government to me."

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. Seuss

"FOR WITH GOD, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE" - LUKE 1:37

"The pain of parting is nothing compared to the joy of meeting again." ~Charles Dickens

"I had a firm philosophy that you cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves." -Ezra Taft Benson

Throughout the world and among the membership of the Church, there is great joy and great pain. Both are part of the plan....Never let an earthly circumstance disable you spiritually." - Donald L. Hallstrom

"He who takes offense when offense was not intended is a fool, yet he who takes offense when offense is intended is an even greater fool for he has succumbed to the will of his adversary." — Brigham Young

"How strange it is, our little procession of life! The child says, 'When I am a big boy,' But what is that? The big boy says, 'When I grow up.' And then, grown up, he says, 'When I get married." But to be married, what is that after all? The thought changes to 'When I'm able to retire.' And then, when retirement comes, he looks back over the landscape traversed; a cold wind seems to sweep over it; somehow he has missed it all, and it is gone. Life, we learn too late is in the living, in the tissue of every day and hour." -Stephan Leacock

Our Story...

Kory and Shay found each other at Brigham Young University at a Ward Choir practice, and they have been inseparable ever since. All except for the year and a half that she decided to follow Kory's lead and serve the Lord as a full time missionary, where she did so in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 2007-2008. Kory valiantly served in the New York, New York South Mission during 2003-2005. Now that they have been majestically reunited, they finished their college degrees while initially living in Provo, Utah. Now, they reside in Alpine, Utah. Two turned to three when their gorgeous daughter, Sydney, entered their lives September 2010. They currently live a challenging, yet happy life, and await for the next turn life's path brings them.
